You probably heard about the protests that started in Gezi Park, Istanbul, Turkey the past weeks that continue to this day and that have spread through the country.
The people organized this Public Library in Gezi Park that was later destroyed by the police (as you can see in the last 2 photographs).
Between the chaos and the danger of police brutality (that have severely injured and killed civilians), people got together and built a library.
This is the human spirit in its most beautiful form.
Thanks to einhellesbitte for the information and the links.
